Similar to Audrey... the eyes are waaaay too Asian-looking to make her classical looking. Also, she has Cupid's bow-shaped lips and a very round face (which is another Asian trait, for Chinese, I think).

Nordic women, contrary to popular opinion, tend to lean towards exotic more than classic. I'm not sure why but people (Americans especially) tend to think blonde hair is classic instead of exotic, especially with light eyes, even though brunettes with blue eyes (Megan Fox, Adriana Lima) are all called exotic!

Ironically, even though her size makes her popular with Americans, facewise, she isn't so much, and isn't usually considered exotic, although many other classical-looking Hispanic/Latino girls like Adriana Lima, Vanessa Hudgens, or Eva Longoria all are. Coincidentally, they are all also thin.

Like Gisele, I find that German or part-German women tend to be maddeningly, beautifully exotic. Some might call them masculine but if looking so strong-featured yet decidedly feminine makes you a man, I wanna be. ;p

OK, I do find her kinda ugly. Her kind of exotic looks are not my type. You may not want her on this list but it's silly to deny her being exotic. Her looks (lazy eyes, nose, cheekbones) are unconventional in how they look, making her exotic.

These women are either generally considered to be classic beauties or downright ugly when they are just exotic. Exotic people are often considered ugly which makes total sense, but when I call them that, people will go "No, they aren't exotic, just ugly/average/mediocre" as if you can't be two at once because exotic suddenly means attractive?!

Taylor Swift? Ali Larter? Dunst? Klum Paris HILTON?!! They symbolise, generic NON exotic looks! They are all TOTAL mainstream looking. There are girls that look just like Demi everywhere! you don't put them on the same list as AUDREY!! You can't be both.

ranz- actually I've talked to several people who dislike her... guys too. I dislike how squinty her eyes are in contrast to her rather big lips. Just reminds me of Taylor "No Shirt" Lautner, who I can't stand. but then, you're a guy, so like other guys you probably just like her boobs =P

and amanda, OK, I get it, you wanna stalk and b*tch. I'm so glad I blocked your freakishly immature self. And yeah, sorry, I dont know what this "symbolic" crap you're pulling out your butt is, but their features are unusual, so they are EXOTIC. COLORING =/= WHAT IS EXOTIC OR CLASSIC FEATURES- a big nose, a strong jaw, freckles- are. Taylor looks Asian, Kirsten has very small features on a wide face, Ali has sharp Nordic/German looks.. I could go on.

Durrrr. Stop being so psycho and act your middle-age.

And please, show me anyone who looks a thing like Demi. Even if they do, how exactly does that make her not exotic? Audrey is, but Penelope Cruz, Audrey Tautou, Calista Flockhart and Anna walton do and they look nothing alike (except for Calista and Anna, who are twins).

Sorry, but so many mistakes here.
Every oblique eyes (e.g. Taylor Swift) instantly remind you "Asian"? That seems a little weird.
Also weird, what's a Jewish look?! There are Polish Jewish and Chinese Jewish people- and they do look quite different.
And I found it odd to know how it's hard for you to find Adriana Lima Exotic.. She couldn't be any more exotic.

abhi- Classic? "Safe" features. Round eyes, straight noses, maybe a weak chin, maybe straight hair, no "strong" or unusual features basically. It of course differs from country to country but naturally I'm referring to America and maybe Britain too. I did a list on that if you'd like to check it out.

coral- no, there aren't "mistakes". as the others have said, this is opinion, correct? And no, her eyes are very Asian-like- small, elongated, almond-shaped, slightly upturned, prominant lids, therefore yes, naturally, she DOES remind one of an Asian, especially with her round face. Sorry, but I find it a little weird you find such a very common opinion weird. Or rather, I think you just want to pretend it's weird just because you don't think she looks Asian because she's such a white girl. If she had black hair everyone would be gushing about what an exotic beauty she is.

And Adriana could not be further from exotic. http://kieferfan.com/photos/adriana-lima-photos-54.jpg There is nothing unusual about her at ALL; I see girls like that all the time off the street, same for Megan Fox, who seems to be her slightly more attractive twin. Once again... your coloring doesn't make you exotic (at least, I assume you like everyone else who's vehementaly defended her supposed exotic-ness. I've no idea why people stubbornly refuse to accept that), your FEATURES do. Her features are extremely common and rather bland. I'm not saying no one can find her attractive; I'm saying her facial features just aren't ususuan, because they aren't. So many American and Brazilian girls look like that, especially with the straight hair and tanned skin too. Or your heritage... ugh, that's annoying. waaaay too many people hold the belief that being ethnic makes you automatically exotic, no matter how you look. it does not.

well, I stand by what I said. I honestly think if she had olive skin, black hair, and brown eyes people would be more willing to agree with that statement. But then again, I'm an American, and any slit eyes look "Asian" to us. cuz we're American. ;)

I agree, Zooey is VERY overrated. I actually sort of liked her in Elf with blonde hair, even though it clashed with her skin tone, but it didn't make her huge icy eyes so hard to look at and such. Emily is unusual looking and beautiful though.

i liked this list, but the constant referral to almond-eyes being "asian" made absolutely no sense whatsoever. considering that almond eyes are the most common eye shape--whereas ASIAN is an eye shape of its own--you may want to recheck the qualifications for "asian". again, nice list, just ... definitely not agreeing with the whole eye shape thing.

I agree with your comments on Taylor swift and Emily Deschanel. I love both the Deschanel sisters, but if I had to choose I would say Emily is the prettier of the two. Also, I think Rachel Weisz is far more pretty than Lucy Hale. Great list!

No, you miss the point. Your HERITAGE doesnt make you LOOK exotic. If that were the case, more celebs like, say, Vanessa Hudgens would look exotic because she is Hispanic/Chinese/Irish/etc. and obviously she isn't exotic looking at all.

I mean, if you had absolutely no idea what Adriana's heritage was, or if she were just plain Irish/Spanish/etc. (only ONE or two instead of a bunch) you wouldn't still say that, would you? No, because you couldn't.

gloria- thanks! I agree, I find Emily waaay prettier/more interesting looking and cooler than Zooey, even though everyone I know prefers Zooey to Emily. And I agree, although I like Lucy, you can NOT beat Rachel!

I find JAckie O and Taylor Swift to be overrated, but most of these women are attractive. Pressly is gorgeous, as are Bellisario, Moore, Bergman, and Ferrara. why would you call Benson exotic? the shape of her face is, I guess, but she has standard features of what is considered desirable

Jackie overrated?? No way! maybe as a style icon. I dislike her boxy suits. she looked better in capris and tees. I also think Taylor is overrated but her hair is gorgeous, she has good style and is fairly classy. if she wears less makeup, she looks waaay better.

yeah, I thought of taking Benson off. her eyes are upturned (and she has a lazy eye too) and her face is pointy. she also reminds me of a more attractive Scarlett Johansson, whose eyes are also a bit exotic. I dont know.

ccc- apparently. ;) especially since you won't explain what you mean, and I imagine that is because you can't. I have to doubt you even know what that word means. if it were "close minded" I would probably have only Hispanics on here, or only young women, or only blue eyed women, or something.

Taylor doesn't have asian looking eyes, asian eyes are not characterized by being long, but because they have an epicanthic fold, but yeah, Taylor is exotic because she's got a cattish looks. I think it's more her clothes that make her looks so generic rather than her actual facial features.

I'm not quite sure. So exotic means every other woman who are not listed in the sexiest person alive list? Also the amount of the people in this list is too big. I do find that some of them have interesting face, but many of these women are average beautiful Hollywood actresses/singers, who have plastic surgeries to be enought pretty for viewers (nose job etc.). And Paris Hlton? I mean really? She just looks like a porn star.
I personaly love classic beauties, like Audrey Hepburn,Troian Bellisandro and Natalie Portman. So thanks adding them :)

Out of 37 women there are maybe three women of color. White women are exotic looking? I can see South American or Polynesian women being exotic but not white. Taylor Smith a a plain looking white woman. I guess the white woman that made this list had to be born in the 1800's when white men placed them on pedestals not to be looked at by other races. This is white privilege at its best.

Taylor's definitely unusual looking. Please show me five white women off the street who look anything like her.

Of course most are white. Is it my job to have token minorites like Disney (which is actually insulting to minorities)? No. Anyone can be exotic, but I see it more on average with the vast diversity of whites' appearance. Yet they're seldom acknowledged are exotic looking, (even when they are they're usually tanned brunettes) which I wanted to show with my list, which is obvious if you'd chill and let go of racist social justice for two seconds. Whites too often are called "plain" or ugly for the crime of lacking melanin. Why can't people just find them unusual looking, even attractive, without some entitled person getting up in arms? That sounds like jealous 6th grade drama.

Minority privilege is attacking the beliefs of others and expect them to change them to your will- and have it done. You seem to think a listal list is a "privilege" instead of the fact that you presumably live in Western civilization, access to the Internet and a computer, are allowed to express yourself freely, etc. and a number of privileges. What a spoiled mentality the Western world has adopted.

tl;dr: Honestly you just sound mad you weren't represented, and that is nobody's problem (also not very factual). It's a privilege to think it is. Make your own list instead of demanding others cater to selfish political correctness and have a nice day.
